This is a dog that
originated in England and was used for hunting rabbits. It is a very
intelligent, good-natured animal that is easy to train. It also has a very good
sense of smell.

Although smaller than
most hunting dogs, standing only about 14 inches in height and weighing less
than 30 pounds, it is nevertheless a sturdy animal. It has a white coat with
black and tan markings and large, hanging ears.

This playful breed that
was popularized though the “Peanuts” comic strips, that featured “Snoopy”,
makes a delightful family pet because it is particularly fond of children.
